Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman will arrive in South Korea on Saturday 9 August, for the first international leg of Doctor Who: The World Tour.

The capital Seoul will provide the backdrop to the visit, which will see the stars spending time with Korean fans, promoting the new series of Doctor Who and introducing Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor.

A fan event will take place at the IFC Mall on Saturday 9 August, starting with a special screening of the feature-length first episode Deep Breath in multiple cinemas.

After the screening, Peter and Jenna will meet with fans in the atrium of the mall. The fan meeting will begin at 5pm and is open to all.

Fans can win tickets to the screenings by entering competitions. Details about the competitions will be released later this week on our Twitter account @doctorwho_kor.

Peter Capaldi has commented on his excitement ahead of the tour: “It’s fantastic that so many people across the world love Doctor Who. After 8 months solid filming deep in the world of monsters, Jenna and I are thrilled to be heading for the Planet of Fans”.

Doctor Who: The World Tour will begin in the UK on August 7 and finish in Brazil on August 19. It will see Twelfth Doctor Peter Capaldi and on-screen companion Jenna Coleman visit 7 cities across 5 continents in 12 days, publicising the show’s forthcoming Series 8.
